Darrell L. Bock (born December 8, 1953) is an American
His works include the monograph "Blasphemy and Exaltation" in the collection Judaism and the Final Examination of Jesus, and volumes on Luke in both the Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament and the IVP New Testament Commentary Series. Bock is a past president of the Evangelical Theological Society, and he is a member of the board of trustees of Wheaton College (Illinois). He has served as a corresponding editor for Christianity Today, and he has published articles in the Los Angeles Times and The Dallas Morning News.
Bock is known for his work concerning The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. In a response to the theological implications of the novel, Bock wrote Breaking the Da Vinci Code, his best-selling work to date. The book challenges the historicity of various extra-biblical ideas expressed in The Da Vinci Code, most notably the supposed marriage of Jesus to Mary Magdalene. He also has written many pieces for Beliefnet and Christianity Today. Bock also wrote The Missing Gospels, which argues for the existence and legitimate primacy of early Christian orthodoxy over non-canonical gospels and beliefs.

In 2012, Darrell Bock became the executive director of cultural engagement at the Hendricks Center at DTS. He is also a host of The Table Podcast, Dallas Theological Seminary's weekly cultural engagement show. The other hosts of the podcast are Mikel Del Rosario, Bill Hendricks, and Kymberli Cook.
For several years he has been a Guest Lecturer at the Bible Institute of South Africa's Winter School in Cape Town, as well as at numerous other institutions globally.[2]
